A body of mass $\mathrm { m } = 10 \mathrm {~kg}$ is attached to one end of a wire of length 0.3 m . What is the maximum angular speed (in $\mathrm { rad } \mathrm { s } ^ { - 1 }$ ) with which it can be rotated about its other end in a space station without breaking the wire? [Breaking stress of wire $( \sigma ) = 4.8 \times 10 ^ { 7 } \mathrm {~N} \mathrm {~m} ^ { - 2 }$ and area of cross-section of the wire $= 10 ^ { - 2 } \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 2 }$ ]
